Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


As he thought of it, a sharp pang of pain struck through him
like a knife and made each delicate fibre of his nature quiver.
His eyes deepened into amethyst, and across them came a mist
of tears. He felt as if a hand of ice had been laid upon
his heart.


"Don't you like it?" cried Hallward at last, stung a little
by the lad's silence, not understanding what it meant.


"Of course he likes it," said Lord Henry. "Who wouldn't like it?
It is one of the greatest things in modern art. I will give you
anything you like to ask for it. I must have it."
